'What do you expect?': Rio Ferdinand explains why Chelsea can't sack Pochettino

Rio Ferdinand believes Chelsea are not going to sack Mauricio Pochettino after having spent so much money buying him the players he wants.

He believes that the young average age of the squad as is one of the reasons for their underperformance.

"What I would say is that if you have spent a billion pounds on potential then you can't sack the manager.

"I'm really interested to see how this summer goes in terms of the management situation. Mauricio Pochettino, when he gets an appraisal done at the end of the season, that will be one of the first things he says."

Ferdinand adds: "What do you expect? I have got one of the youngest squads around.

"I have invested in lots of potential. No real end product all over park. We were saying before, where is the experience when there is a rocky moment in the game?

"Where are the people and the characters that are going to drag the young players along? The main one was on the bench was Thiago Silva but he is 38-years-old. They need to buy experience."
